Etymology:
The word "scarce" is derived from the Old French word "eschars," meaning "stingy" or "miserly." This word is ultimately derived from the Latin word "scarus," meaning "rocky" or "barren."
Meaning:
Scarce means not plentiful or abundant; rare. It refers to something that is not easily available or in short supply.
Origin:
The Latin word "scarus" was used to describe rocky terrain, where resources were often scarce. The term then evolved to refer more generally to a lack of abundance. By the 13th century, the Old French word "eschars" had developed a more specific meaning of "stinginess," which was later adopted into English as "scarce" in the 14th century.
